To enable commenting, follow these steps:
1. Create a file called
post-comment.php (randomise that name to avoid footprints and comment spam) in your site's public_html folder with the following content:
<?php
include("wp-comments-post.php");
?>
2. Add the following lines to your theme's
functions.php file, noting to swap
post-comment.php for the name of your new comments file:
add_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 'enablecomments_comment_form_defaults' );
function enablecomments_comment_form_defaults( $defaults ) {
$defaults[ 'action' ] = site_url( '/post-comment.php' );
return $defaults;
}
3. Add a CAPTCHA plugin to prevent comment spam, such as hCaptcha -
